A Brief History
History recalls that Hockey first began in Toowoomba in 1928 with separate Men’s and Women’s Associations playing matches in various locations. In 1957, the Men’s and Women’s Associations joined to form the Toowoomba Hockey Association.
The Toowoomba Hockey Club was established in 1964 as a meeting place for Hockey members. Various Teams and Clubs were formed throughout the years until 1973 saw the 5 major Clubs of the Association today – Newtown, Northern Suburbs, Past High, Rangeville and Red Lion.
Clyde Park became the Home Ground of Toowoomba Hockey in 1978 as the ‘Clyde Park Hockey Complex’ was officially opened with six grass playing fields and a small but functional Clubhouse.
Over the years to follow, the Clubhouse underwent various extensions and restructures until, in 2008, Club Glenvale (formerly the Toowoomba Hockey Club) was officially opened.
